Three Bean Chili

Friday night, I needed a quick entree to bring to a potluck surprise party.  As usual, smittenkitchen.com was one of my first stops to look for a good recipe.  And, also as usual, Deb at Smitten Kitchen never lets me down.  Maybe one day I can be an awesome food blogger like her.

This three bean chili only takes 30 minutes to make & will definitely be added to my list of meals to make when I don't really feel like cooking.
